Booking annual AC maintenance is useful.
Checkups keep your air conditioning unit in Calgary operating at peak performance while keeping energy consumption down. It also can even help prolong its life span.
While there are a few jobs you can do alone, you should work with Experts, like the ones at A1 Chesney Service Experts, for AC inspections and maintenance.
Here are several steps you can do by yourself as you prep for summer.
Get Your AC Tune-Up Set
Spring is a period of rejuvenation, and to many that entails a big dose of home, garage and yard cleaning. With the hotter weather near, it’s also a great idea to add AC upkeep on that checklist.
Spring is a great season to get your cooling equipment cleaned and inspected. Hesitating to switch it on until the first warm day of the season can be dicey. If you have to schedule service or a new unit, you may be waiting days for an appointment. And that can turn extremely unpleasant.
And for those with allergies, being ahead of the game with a fresh AC system will help provide the best indoor air quality when it’s pollen season.
Also, air conditioner upkeep might be a requirement for your system’s manufacturer warranty or any other extended warranty.
Can I Finish a Tune-Up Myself?

- Put in a new air filter advises each month or two. This is especially important if you have been diagnosed with allergies or have a dog in your house.
- Lawn work around the outdoor condenser. Ensure the area is free of grass, weeds or bushes by your air conditioning system. We recommend keeping 2–3 feet of clear space. You should also remove any leaves or sticks that have collected inside your system, as this can block airflow.
